Question

Jill and Dana made 3 VA gallons of lemonade. How many cups did they sell?

a) 24 cups
b) 32 cups
c) 36 cups
d) 48 cups

Answer 1

Jill and Dana made enough lemonade to sell 48 cups by converting 3 VA gallons to ounces and then to cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves converting VA gallons of lemonade into cups. To solve this, we need to know the conversion between gallons and cups. One VA (Virginia) gallon is equivalent to 128 ounces, and one cup is equivalent to 8 ounces. Using this information, we can set up the conversion:

• Convert gallons to ounces: 3 VA gallons * 128 ounces/gallon = 384 ounces.
• Convert ounces to cups: 384 ounces / 8 ounces/cup = 48 cups of lemonade.

Therefore, Jill and Dana made enough lemonade to sell 48 cups.
